AFP Font Collection

  
Product details Specifications

The InfoPrint Solutions Company AFP™ Font Collection provides fonts that can be used by most Advanced Function Presentation™ products. Skillful use of fonts in typography can dramatically improve the readability and effectiveness of your documents.

Enhanced presentation
Effective use of typography, the visual language of words, can greatly enhance the readability of a document and make printed information clear, organized and accessible. Fonts contain the elements of typography, and the AFP Font Collection contains fonts from several popular type families, including Times New Roman, Helvetica and Courier. These fonts come in specific sizes and resolutions for older InfoPrint Solutions Company AFP printers, and are supplied in outline format for WYSIWYG viewing, and for newer high-resolution InfoPrint Solutions Company AFP printers (600 dpi).

Font flexibility
The tools that accompany AFP Font Collection offer flexibility in viewing or manipulating fonts. Resolution independent outline fonts require no conversions as printer resolutions increase, and they require only a small amount of storage space. Outline fonts reside in most printers and you can download additional fonts easily. AFP Font Collection includes the InfoPrint Solutions Company Core Interchange Fonts and lets you print in more than 50 languages.
